Tacoma Convention Center Hotel Update - The Conco Companies

“This estimated $150 million hotel and mixed-use project will contribute to downtown Tacoma’s renaissance significantly,” according to a city staff report. “It is one of the first major foreign direct investments on publicly owned land in Tacoma. The project will generate substantial tax revenue, create about 1,000 construction jobs and at least 200 full-time jobs, and enable the GTCC to attract larger conventions to enhance Tacoma’s economic vitality.”

The Tacoma Convention Center Hotel, developed by Yareton Investment & Management, will offer 300 rooms in a new Mariott branded hotel and retail spaces. Expected to open in 2020, the 4-star hotel will rise 23 stories, include 304 guest rooms, and will be connected to the Greater Tacoma Convention Center. It will also feature a 10,000 square foot grand ballroom, retail space, and other function rooms. The hotel will serve as the anchor hotel for the convention center, which has struggled recently to land larger convention and trade shows because of the lack of nearby hotel rooms.

The Conco Companies NW Division is working a 7-day cycle in the tower, pouring the vertical the same day as the slab is poured, with a self-climbing core form system (supplied by FCI). The tower portion, consisting of the hotel, continues to L23 + a cantilevered concrete roof. The project will utilize 5,550,000 lbs. of rebar, 25,000 cubic yards of concrete, and 430,000 linear feet of post tension cables. Conco is scheduled to pour-out the project by June 2019.

The Conco Companies’ mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring expertise and incomparable quality to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial, educational, parking structures, public works projects, and other development.

The offices are paired with a parking garage, a 4-star hotel and adjacent previously existing apartments. The parking garage includes 695,159 gross Sq. Ft. of parking space with 2,121 structured parking spaces and the ability to expand parking to an adjacent site to meet tenants’ needs. The open 12-story, $180 million, 347-room 4-star Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport provides premium accommodations for business travelers to Southport.

This project has been a monumental achievement for the Conco Northwest Division. Under the direction of Conco’s Project Superintendent Gerrit Johnson, and Project Manager Alex Gateman, the structural duration of the project lasted over 2.5 years. Southport sets the high-water mark for the longest–and largest– contract the Conco Northwest Division has completed.

Over 2.5 years, Conco NW has:

Placed 77,400 Cu. Yds. of concrete (readymix supplied by Stoneway)
Shipped and placed 13,700,00 lbs. of rebar (installed by RPM)
Shipped and placed 1,450,000 lbs of post-tension cables (installed by RPM) – that’s more than 450 miles of cable.

With stunning views of Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier from multiple outdoor spaces, as well as a rooftop deck, tenants can enjoy the benefits and beauty of Southport with the comfort of 20% – 30% lower lease rates than in comparable alternatives in Seattle or Bellevue, a short commute to downtown Seattle and Eastside, and quick access to I-405 and I-5 Freeways.

Conco’s goal is to be the top supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring our expertise and professionalism to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial, industrial, educational, parking structure projects and other development. For the best value and quality, trust your project to one of the area’s leading lightweight concrete contractors.

Conco is providing a wide range of concrete services for The Asher, a 900,000 sq. ft. multi-family development. This includes concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, construction trucking as well as shotcrete services. Conco is pleased to be working with project developer Carmel Partners. The engineer, CKC Structural Engineers, was also recently recognized with the Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute 2018 Honors Design and Construction Award for Tower 12 in Seattle. The Asher, situated on a 12.6 acre site, is scheduled to be completed in 2019.

The two, four-story buildings of The Asher will have a total of 632 open floor plan units in Fremont, CA. The wrapped style buildings will feature private patios and balconies with glass or custom wood railings in all units. Each building will also be paired with an above-grade parking structure, totaling 480,000 sq. ft. and 1,200 parking spaces. The South Garage will also feature an 18,000 sq. ft. roof deck on the sixth level, including a pool, bowling alley, and fitness room. The project’s unique shape and orientations includes several landscaped courtyards, effectively creating spaces for smaller communities within the larger development.

The long spans needed in the spacious amenity areas were accommodated by utilizing a concrete post-tensioned slab which was integrated into the light frame structure. This maximized flexibility of the space by minimizing the internal columns needed. The site also had soil issues which were ultimately solved using a shallow foundation system below the parking structure and a post-tension foundation below the residential structure. The two structures have significantly different weights and so it was necessary to balance these foundation systems to minimize differential settlement.

Conco’s goal is to be the top supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring our expertise and professionalism to each project. We continue to upgrade and expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial, industrial, educational, parking structure projects and other development.

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services on 1314 Franklin Street. Developed by Carmel Partners, this will be Oakland’s largest residential building ever. For Conco, this project includes concrete pumping, formwork, and finishing as well as construction trucking and shotcrete services.

The 40-story building will be on top of a seven-floor podium totaling 633 residential units and about 17,000 sq. ft. of retail space. Situated across from the historic Oakland Tribune building, Carmel Partners will be giving local businesses a first look at the building’s retail space, and provide between 27 and 54 affordable housing for the project. The unit mix for the residential tower is a single studio apartment, approximately 66% one-bedroom, and 34% two-bedroom units. The unit mix for the residential podium is approximately 9% student, 64% one-bedroom and 27% two-bedroom units.

The tower and podium will sit on a five-story parking garage with two stories below grade. The 404 foot tall residential tower will contain approximately 789,355 sq. ft. gross area with primary frontage and entry along Franklin and 14^th streets. The fourth level rooftop above the parking structure contains a landscaped area, outdoor pool, and associated interior amenity spaces for residents. Level 40 contains interior amenity spaces and exterior landscaped terrace. The rooftop amenity spaces have direct access via a shuttle elevator from level 40 to the rooftop deck amenity area where there will also be a pool.

The space currently is a replacing a two-story parking garage, which has been there for decades, but was once the site of Contra Costa Academy. Founded by Henry Durant, the 16th mayor of Oakland, the academy later became the College of California before it was relocated to Berkeley and became the University of California. A historic marker at the garage will be relocated to the new building when it is completed.

1532 Harrison-The Conco Companies (2)

For the 1532 Harrison Street development, Conco is providing a wide range of concrete services including concrete pumping, formwork, finishing, and shotcrete services. The project of three, seven-story buildings connected by a single level below grade parking structure is expected to ready for residents in March 2019. Conco is also excited to partner with BAR Architects and Macy Architecture, who was recently honored with a 2016 AIACC Residential Award. The project’s developer, Build, Inc., was recently named the 2018 Developer To Watch by San Francisco Business Journal.

The three buildings in the West SoMa neighborhood will have 136 mixed-use units, including 22 below market rate units, and will feature two 25-foot wide laneway gardens between the buildings. The underground garage will include 85 parking spaces as well as a dedicated, interior bicycle storage and maintenance area with 137 bicycle parking spaces. Of the ample space available in the buildings, 1,600 sq. ft. of the ground level space will be dedicated to retail and will boast spacious 16’2” tall ceilings. There is also a planned on-site cafe at the corner of 12th Street and Harrison, across from the historic Eagle Tavern.

While the location of the 1532 Harrison Street development has the additional appeal of being across the street from Eagle Plaza, a permanent public plaza and green space, the proximity of this space added complexity to the project for Conco and the architects. Throughout the planning and design process, they aimed to ensure that the green space would be maintained and fit with the new development. The area has been designated a “priority greening opportunity” by local committees, which was incorporated in the design of the generous gardens of the 1532 Harrison Street development. Additionally, the plaza will transform an underutilized street into a well-cared-for green, safe, and clean shared pedestrian way – ideal for relaxing, gathering, and celebrating. During the course of the project, Conco expects to place 4,100 cubic yards of concrete as well as provide shotcrete services as they work to create these new mixed-use residential buildings and green spaces.

The Conco Companies’ mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring expertise and incomparable quality to each project.
